The Blind Side Review

The Blind Side
Warner Bros
PG 13 123 min
Here's another one that puzzles me.
I understand that we all like a story of triumph over bad circumstances. The heroism among regular people is an inspiration to anyone.
Better still if that story is based on an actual series of events, even if they are often tweaked for the sake of drama. So I'm not shocked by some popularity.
The Academy Award nomination, on the other hand, is a bit odd.
This is the somewhat sanitized story of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) and his transformation from homeless teen to athletic and academic success in college and the NFL.
Oher. a kid with great natural athletic ability, attracts the attention of the coaching staff at a private school but also, more importantly a well to do family who takes him in.
Heβs taken in by a society matron and her family, studies hard enough to be eligible for sports and recruited by many top colleges before getting drafted by the Baltimore Flying Rats (or Ravens as they're sometimes called.)
Now I don't know and I don't really care how accurate every detail of the story might be. It's a feel good tale and there's nothing wrong with that.
It stars Sandra Bullock who might not be a great actress but what the hell. She's cute and seems to be a nice person.
And for all the music fans there's Tim McGraw who can act at least as well as one would expect a country singer to act; even better if you remember Willie Nelson's thespian ventures.
The actual college athletic directors show up in cameo roles and thatβs fun.
My gripe is that despite the good intentions and warm and fuzzy script this really is a mediocre film.
Why this one is a blockbuster and not the equally mundane EXTREME MEASURES is hard to figure but neither on rises above an afternoon housework respite on the Hallmark Channel.

You guys are just biased because he's a Ravens player.

WWS,
If two guys showed up at your house , One Pat Dailey and the other one Jim Brown and if they both pulled out their dicks
at the same time, which one would you trip over first to suck their dick?

It didn't help, but the movie was still weak.

That's WSS, but assuming you're a shitbird or Squeeler fan it's OK.
And it'd be "his" dick, not "their" but again, I digress.
(unless, of course you think most people share a common dick like back home)
So I'm, sorry but the question isn't very clear.
But if you're asking who I'd trip over I'll say Dailey. He's a smaller guy.
No wonder you liked THE BLIND SIDE, you aren't very smart.
Thanks
